The bread does not have an overwhelming lemon flavor, which is unfortunate.
I love lemon, and I love really lemony bread. I think you could infuse more of the lemon flavor by adding some lemon juice to the bread batter.
The walnuts were nice, but not too much.
The glaze is the honestly the best part. It has an amazing lemon flavor. I just wish there was more of it.
The biggest problem was that the bread literally fell apart when I was cutting it. This usually happens when the bread is too dry. This was not the case, so I am not sure what happened there.
